Native America Calling Friday, August 28, 2018 LISTEN HERE
Why do cultural identities and notions of indigeneity clash? On this show, we discuss the conflicts and issues that can arise as people express both their Latino identity and Native American identity. Are there lines to draw? Are there labels to make? Are lines and labels harmful? We also discuss what it means to be Latino and how the Latino community has changed over time.
